    Tuning Driving Me Crazy - PSE EVL 34

    Thoughts on Razor 16-48x65mm

    I bought a used gen 1 85m used it two or three years and took good care of it then sold it for $50 less then i bought it. Its a great stepping stone scope if you cant swing a high end one. Gived you time to save up and sell for little to no financial hit or you may decide you want to keep it. I...
